Professional highlights

Teamwork enthusiast. I greatly value teamwork, as well as reliability – I put emphasis on being there for others and keeping my promises, getting the necessary done. I prefer to prepare in advance and complete tasks before a deadline necessitates a last-minute rush. During my studies, I participated in a legal writing competition run by ELSA. Working together with a fellow student we won the competition and gained a deeper understanding of how to successfully work in a team.

Internalising knowledge. I believe that it is crucial to make connections so as to form a deeper understanding of systems and learn how different aspects come together and connect. I was able to develop this important skill during the Sorainen Student Academy where I learned more about different fields of law, and continue using and developing this approach in my daily work.

Detail-orientation. Before joining Sorainen, I interned at the Estonian Ministry of Justice, largely focusing on checking legislation to ensure its high quality. Thanks to this, I learned a lot about legislative drafting and came to understand the importance of a systemic and methodical approach. By starting out with a sound structure I can support an argument or an entire law so as to ensure that it is a connected whole.
